First ride for TFL crew in the Mustang Mach-E.

I wonder if they are only letting journalists take the ride or if it will be open to the public during the auto show.First ride for TFL crew in the Mustang Mach-E.
I'd be shocked if it was anyone more than journalists and PR people that actually get to ride in it.I wonder if they are only letting journalists take the ride or if it will be open to the public during the auto show.
agreed. They let people sit in it in LA and I saw a video from some tesla fanboys who were pretty harsh on criticisms of the sync4, and even broke the handle off for the hood release. my guess is that is why they are now treating it like royalty at car showsI'd be shocked if it was anyone more than journalists and PR people that actually get to ride in it.

Broke the handle on purpose? WTF?agreed. They let people sit in it in LA and I saw a video from some tesla fanboys who were pretty harsh on criticisms of the sync4, and even broke the handle off for the hood release. my guess is that is why they are now treating it like royalty at car shows
No, I don't think it was necessarily on purpose but they were definitely looking for reasons not to like the carBroke the handle on purpose? WTF?
Holy Tesla lover comments on that video ha!Here's the video; at about 2:09 he breaks it by pushing to the right instead of pulling back:
Tribes are so stupid.Holy Tesla lover comments on that video ha!
Agreed. A little--intelligent--tribalism is OK though I think. Competition is good. Would either the Mustang or the Camaro have evolved into the machines they are today without the legendary Camaro vs. Mustang rivalry? Probably not. Always pushing to be better than the competition is what leads to greatness. OK, OK I know the Challenger is part of that, but not really part of the legendary rivalry. It disappeared for too long. Great to have it back though!So far the Mach-E is the best competition to Tesla yet. It's what we need as a country to move EVs forward.
Just typical prototype stuff. It'll be ironed out in the production models.(I'm hoping that was MPH instead of km/h. Looks like it said MPH but the range showed km. Weird.)
There probably will be, but I don't think to the same extent or nature. A lot of that rivalry was stoked by "car guys" who are more enthusiastic about performance and specs than the average driver. You'll still have some of those people being passionate about their ride's performance, but I think in general the nature of it will be more about "status" rather than performance. I also think the majority of buyers are just going to want a car that is reliable and gets them where they need to go.I wonder if the Y vs Mach e rivalry will grow into the same thing. I hope so.
